LAFAYETTE, Ind. — Name calling Friday afternoon escalated into a fight between two 11-year-old girls at Sunnyside Middle School. This, in turn, escalated to one of the girls being arrested, according to police.

Lafayette police arrested the girl on allegations of battery about 3:20 p.m. Friday, and she was taken to the juvenile intake at the Tippecanoe County Sheriff's Office.

Lafayette police initially reported that a boy and a girl fought, but a woman who claimed to be the parent of one of the girls said they were both girls.

Police clarified Monday afternoon that the report indicates that the fight was between a boy and a girl, but the pronouns in the report suggests that both participants in this incident were girls.
